* Herbal Essences bringing back 90s scents: Herbal Essences commercials were some of the most talked-about ad spots of the 1990s. The brand is hoping to revive some of that nostalgia by re-releasing two of its classic scents from the 1995 to 2006 era in 2013. The first is the pink bottle (Smooth Collection) which features rose hips, vitamin E and jojoba extracts. The second is the pale orange bottle (Shine Collection), which includes a chamomile blend, aloe vera and passionflower extracts. Ads for the new formulas of the old scents will air during the Grammys on Feb. 10.

Students then must design the shoes to fit within one of three themes that represent fans: action sports, art and music, and then one pair that has a regional inspiration.
